FROM LAKOURIE.
LAMoUR1E, La,
AUG. Is. 1857.

Aug. Is, 1887. !
Mr.. EDIToR-
There seems to be an unusual amount
of qnietness among the country cores
pondents-so much SO that it forcibly
irnpresscs one that there is lnrking
tirnidity among them in expressing
their views upon National, State or
local issues of the day. What will the
issues be? Can any one say? No!
If you will only keep your reception
mind on the alert, you will at once
learn of a coming schism in the Demo-
cratic party which will carry in its
wake destruction to the party that has
wrought the great reconstruction mira
Gle in our Parish and State govern
ment. Will not this be one of the
greatest evils Can bold, brave
and intelligent sett of men let this
great party be shattered to pieces upon
the breach of Office seekers and hold
ers No We will not But if it does
occur it will be because the people de-
sire change of officials, Or it will he
that the ''Parish Rinyl wishes to
change or modify the great constitu-
ton and make local autocratic laws,
regardless of the wants Of the people
No one can tell as yet. There are
only seven wise men in the Parish and
the rest are only keys to the great
Democratic organ, and thus seven wise
men play with vehemence upon this
organ just before the elections; there
fore the rest have not the ability to be
one of those professional organists, but
must go about and get advice from
these political expounders of local law.
The only solution the writer can see
is to depose some of the officers, and
thus may pacify some Of the cham
pions of the coming cause-"general
war on present Office holders" So
now you have the basis of the fight
Let some writer take up the subject
and handle it ably and with reason,
and not nterlined with humor and non-
sense. The Farmers Alliance" will
come in with Cheneyville, Lamonrie
and Rapides, and see if they can't be
HEARD in Convention. We also see
the great work of Gov. McEnery, and
appreciate his fervor in advancing the
State to its present condition. Our
bonds are in demand, which is one of
the most important features. The peo-
pie will look at the maneuvers of the
bosses, and watch all proceedings with
an eagles eye.
The writer will now add that he
hopes the gentlemen of the Parish will
try and allay the follies between the
two existing Executive Committees, so
that we may all have the same broad
statesmanlike views and all move for
the advancement of the country at
large. RlFACEMENTo.

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered
liver is misery. Indigestion is u foe
to good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is
one of the most complicated and Won
derfut things in existence. 1t is easily
put ont of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy
food, bad cookery, mental worry, late
hours, irregular habits, and many other
things which ought not to be, have
made the American people a nation of
dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has
done wonderful work in reforming
this sad business and making the
American people so healthy that they
can enjoy their meals and be happy.
Remember No happiness without
